LAST year the Government gave us pensioners a £4 per week rise, on our pensions, and the council raised our rents by the same amount causing a lot of hardship for lots of old people.
In view of the huge increases in living, does the council envisage, increasing the rent again by such a large amount?
To do so, I would think will increase the number of deaths of old people.
The Government is cutting back on everything, but people who have nothing face increases on everything that they need to live.
MR G McRAE, Bassett, Southampton.
